Chris Eats Words, Sends City of Edmonton a Cookie

byChrisonSeptember 19, 2008

Well, with my last post about interactive maps of Edmonton and Red Deer, I mentioned that I was unhappy with one of the websites. Also, I promised to send someone a cookie if the City of Edmonton popped up and said something about it. I was sure from my previous experience working at the City that the chances of loosing a box of cookies would be on par with Calgary winning the Stanley Cup this year. (i.e. not very bloody likely)

Now I have to eat my words, because the first comment I got was:

Chris: I saw your post and your comments. The City of Edmonton is redesigning its site and it launches very soon. Check it out after October 2 and let us know what you think. I can’t promise this specific issue will be fixed right away, but we’ll look into it.

P.S. I like chocolate cookies, not the electronic kind.

I’m looking forward to the new site, and as an Edmontonian (temporarily transplanted) I’m glad to see that they’re paying attention. Kudos!
